City provides SAC credits for industrial sewer extension

The City Council provided Metropolitan Council Environmental Services sewer availability charge (SAC) credits to two businesses to facilitate the connection of two properties to city sewer. Two credits were provided to Cargo Van-Go, 7380 County Highway 101 E., and six credits to Ace Trailer Sales, 7480 County Highway 101 E.
